Pastor Sir Doug Nicholls contributed a great deal to Australian society, he was a person for all people not just for the Indigenous community. After his football career ended he devoted his life for the advancement of the Indigenous community. His work as a pastor, social worker and later in political life demanding audiences with people like Sir Henry Bolte convincing them of the needs for greater support. Adam Goodes is the individual I will be comparing with Doug. Both individuals had the common theme of sporting achievements in their earlier lives. They also experienced racism in varying forms, Doug during his football career from within his own team and out on the field. Adam experienced racism throughout his life, this focused in the later part of his football career, constant booing occurred when he approached the ball in the 2015 season. In a show of solidarity many clubs in late July and early August of 2015 wore their Indigenous jumpers with Bob Murphy from the Western Bulldogs changing his jumper number to Adam’s 37 before the start of the game. Both individuals have displayed a strong sense of identity to their Indigenous origins, enabling them to overcome different forms of racism.

To counter this Doug and Adam both had strong parental influences within their lives, Doug’s mother was…

of this drab uniformity that exists as a cultural aspiration for many Australians. On the contrary, artists such as Howard Arkley have explored the vibrancy and diversity within suburbs, which introduce a more positive discourse that subverts the view of them as a ‘cultural wasteland’, however do not necessarily celebrate them. It is this complexity of how artists engage with the image and reality of suburbia that will be explored in this essay. The 1950s was a time where Australia was seen as…

I saw today on AFL.Com.au, that the AFL now wants to introduce the last touch out of bounds are given as a free kick, I’m now convinced that the lunatics have taken over the asylum. The AFL believe that the new rule has been a factor in the free-flowing style of play. Well! I don’t know which code they are watching, but it is obvious the new free flowing play is purely from the reduction in interchange rotations,( which should go down even further) not for the insane out of bounds rule. Just ask…

for an owner, and a team to make money, leads to ignorance on the part of the team toward the desires of the community. To a capitalist, all that matters is the bottom line, thus, even if the community rises against the management, as long as they are continuing to sell tickets, merchandise, and earn a profit they will continue to ignore the actions of community members. This was seen leading up to the decision to sell the Sydney Swans explored previously. Prior to moving to Sydney, the Swans…
